The Box: Nadine West
The Cost: Varies per item: $9.99-$29.99
The Goods: They send you jewelry and tops and you decide which, if any, to keep and then return the rest.
Nadine West seems to tout itself as similar to Netflix, but they're much more like the Stitch Fix model. They send you items, you have a set amount of time to look them over, then you keep what you like and send back the rest. The service is free and pieces are priced by pouch color. Unfortunately, I was distracted by our houseguest and forgot to take pictures of the pouches, so I'm making semi-educated guesses on the prices.
All of the pouches were wrapped up in this pink tissue paper. The whole package was sent in a pink bubble mailer, like Ipsy and Ellie.
Owl Earrings: ($9.99) Okay, I actually kept these. I will probably only wear them a couple times, but I have a small obsession with owls and J commented that they were cute, so how could I not?
Beaded Bracelet: ($14.99) This sucker was HUGE. Even when it was tightened all the way, it still hung off my wrist like I was playing dress up in a grown up's jewelry box.
Dragonfly Necklace: ($9.99) Meh. I'd have loved this when I was middle school. So they're only like....13 years off the mark for me.
I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I signed up for the service, but since there was no cost up front I *had* to give in to my curiosity. The quality is about equal to Target jewelry, and I think that's about where the prices are as well. Based on this first delivery, I'd say this would be a great subscription for a younger girl who wants a Stitch Fix-like experience. They do have the opportunity for you to request specific delivery frequencies, price points, and item types, so if you, say, want to only receive bracelets under $15 every two months, they'll make that happen for you.
Since they are a newer subscription (when I signed up I was one of the first 50 customers) it will be interesting to see how their selection grows and changes based on feedback and such.
